I am not sure this is NEWS? Maybe blog/chat?
There may be something to the idea that Millennials have had things to easy to understand.

Agreed, largely.
OTOH, being convinced that they need to attend college right out of high school, which is essentially a four year theme park, for 30k per year to get a degree in something no one will ever pay you for.
You graduate and either you have a wanted degree and have to compete with H1Bs or a stupid degree where you work in a call center for $15/hr. Further, you have no chance of ever being able to afford a home.
Now, my nephews and nieces didn’t go down that road of disaster, my kids aren’t headed that way either, but if one were to do so, and that’s at the advisement of many adults, I could see why one would feel that way relative to other generations.
This blog is news?

Happy Anniversary (soon).

Well, he hasn't seen prosperity as I saw it as kid in Manhattan, were the drunks could roll out of bed in the morning and stagger off to find a day job in the garment district or a construction site and get paid enough to get an SRO in the Bowery.
So even old alcoholics could afford to live in the most expensive city in the world and not sleep in the streets.
That's how valuable American labor was.
